Frequently asked questions

Merch (short for merchandise) means products intended for selling. While any business can call their products merch, this term is most commonly used when talking about items sold by musicians, influencers, and other celebrities.

We use different equipment for particular printing techniques—Kornit printer for DTG apparel, Happy and Tajima embroidery machines for hats, and many more. Read more about our product quality and printers.

This depends on your business needs and your personal platform. If you want to create a stand-alone website for your store that you can fully customize, we recommend ecommerce platforms, like Shopify, Wix, and others. These platforms have pre-made templates specifically for online stores.

If you want something that’s a little less maintenance and aren’t as concerned with customization, you can go for a storefront on an ecommerce marketplace like Etsy, Amazon, or eBay. A marketplace works like a shopping mall—customers go to one place to visit multiple stores. While your competition will be more visible to your fans here, you’ll also have a better chance of getting discovered.

You also need to consider your creative platform (like YouTube, Twitch, or others). Check if your desired store maker has an option to connect your creative platform with your store.

We recommend t-shirts and hoodies for your audience. While we offer over 300 customizable products, t-shirts and hoodies are two of the most popular merch items for celebrities and influencers.

Yes, you can create merchandise with Printful for free. You only pay for the products you sell, plus fulfillment and shipping.

Yes, we do. To make merch on your mobile, use the Printful app, available on App Store or Google Play.

Your Printful merch maker costs are: products, fulfillment, and shipping from the orders you sell. If you sell embroidered merch, you’ll also have to pay a digitization fee (up to $6.50) per design.

Plus, you have to take into account non-Printful costs like:

  • Store creation costs
  • Paid marketing campaigns
  • Anything else that goes into your business maintenance

Yes, it’s completely legal, as long as you own the rights to any content you use in your design and your design isn’t offensive. To make sure your merch is in check, read our Acceptable Content Guidelines.
